Car Accidents Involving Impaired Driving in Delaware
Impaired driving continues to be a leading cause of collisions across Delaware. Motorists operating under the influence of alcohol or drugs increase the risk of severe crashes, particularly head-on collisions, which often result in multiple injuries due to the force of impact. These incidents not only endanger those directly involved but also place significant strain on emergency responders and healthcare systems.
